The stories on today’s Nieman website show an industry working HARD in every possible way to drive away its customers and empower its enemies.
The N. Y. Times. lost a libel suit because it followed the perpetual Yankee tradition of seeing all Southerners as Klansmen. They couldn’t imagine that a Southerner wasn’t guilty of murder.
The press sticks firmly together and gets back into the room with Trump so they can guarantee a third term.
They ask how they should cover the “climate” story and let Bill McKibben answer it.
I can’t think of another industry so meticulously determined to put itself out of business, so careful to take the wrong path at every step. The old buggy whip story is a lie. Carriage makers smoothly morphed into auto makers or auto body makers. The telegraph data web smoothly morphed into the computerized data web. Railroads are still going strong with 1950 technology, no morph needed. Ships are doing the same.
Recently other corporations lost customers by pushing the Woke and LGBTQABCDEF message too hard, but they figured it out and stopped pushing. The invisible hand slapped them and they shaped up.
We handed part of our manufacturing to China, but NOT because the manufacturers had poisoned their own market. We handed it, and China gladly received it, because it was profitable and strong. Bankers HATE profit and need to eradicate it.
